One cant tire of the iconic image from the Arches National park, of Delicate Arch. The arch is the most widely recognized landmark in the park and is depicted on Utah license plates as well as a postage stamp. The hike up to the arch is quite strenuous especially with heavy camera gear and tripods in tow, but the effort is well worth it. I stayed up there all night from dusk to dawn and it was tough framing the right shot with so many other visitors and photographers lighting up the arch from all sides. The milky way was shot from the parking lot as I did not have the fitness to carry my tracker with weights all the way up !!
